GATES RADIO CO.
Space 2
New equipment to be exhibited by Gates will include the FM-10A 10 kw fm transmitter, professional 12-inch transcription turntables and an M-5693 modulation monitor.
Gates' fm transmitter features a new development called varialine tuning, a method of tuning a single ended vhf amplifier.
A portion of a parallel plate transmission line is made variable to capacity tune the line to operating frequency, with neither mica nor vacuum capacitors needed in the tank turntable.
The 12-inch turntable is identical to older models except for its more compact size.
Other Gates products to be on display: 5 kw am transmitter, with silicon rectifiers; 5 kw tv transmitter for both color and black and white; 1 kw am transmitter; two spot tape recorders (accommodating 101 spot announcements on separate tracks
and using an indexing system for selection). The tape itself is a vertical-playing belt 13 inches wide. In addition there are several speech input systems, remote amplifiers, frequency monitors, leveling amplifiers and the Nite Watch automatic programming system.
Personnel: P.S. Gates, Larry Cervone, Norbert Jochem, Edward Wilder, John Price, Gene Edwards, Franz Cherny, Tom Humphrey, CO. Morgan, Bill Moats, Dick Spruill, Joe Engle, Bob Hallenbeck, London England, Urlin Whitman, Wally Warren, Abe Jacobowitz, Stan Whitman.
GENERAL ELECTRIC CO.
Space 31
A new tv film projection claimed to inject new life into old films will be shown by General Electric. It was designed by Eastman Kodak Co. for GE, to be used with the Vidicon camera.
Eastman's new 16 mm continuous tv projector (Model 350) "is the most significant development in tv projection in 15 years," according to John Wall, GE broadcast sales manager. "Now local stations can combine the economy of 16 mm projection with 35 mm quality." Effects of scratches and dirt particles are practically eliminated and a steadier image is produced on the screen, he said.
The improved image is attained through an optical system using tilting, rotating mirrors that follow the film as it passes over the projection gate, reflecting an immobilized and stable image into the system, it was explained, with additional steadiness attained by the projector's capacity to compensate automatically for film shrinkage.
Full capabilities of the GE Vidicon camera are utilized by applying an image to the tv system 100% of the time as opposed to the 30% to 50% light application found in conventional intermittent projectors, according to GE. The film moves over the projection gate without clamping, extending print life. Film motion can be reversed for cueing or stopped for still projection at any time. The system can be adapted to all tv systems.
Other products in the exhibit will include a new tv studio monitor (TM-21-A) and other monitoring equipment; several lines of cameras; a 10 kw low and highchannel vhf transmitter (TT-32-B), other audio and video equipment and microwave units. A hospitality suite (Room 1500) will be maintained.
Personnel: Robert L. Casselberry, John Wall, Charles J. Simon, Harold Towlson, Richard Putman, John Jones, Frank Bias, William G. Broughton, Lewis F. Page, Earl H. Piatt, James M. Comer Jr., Thomas F. Bost Jr., Vernon H. Russell, Robert E. Lauterbach, James Douglas, Robert Cochran, Hugh Granberry, Hal Condo, John Watter, C.H. Jensen, A.F. Carl, M.R. Duncan, Charles H. Lake.
